mCtrl / News: Recent posts

mCtrl project is migrating away from SourceForge.net. If you tracked our development, you likely already know that the code repo already lives elsewhere: On github. It's time to also move our stuff, including the main project web presentation. All the stuff gets moved to our own dedicated domain, http://mctrl.org.

Time goes and no one can stop it, and it's true that some controversial steps of sf.net in the relatively reent past did play some role in the decision making to leave. Nevertheless I would like to express thanks to SourceForge.net team for all the years of work on a hosting site which helped to grow to many open source projects, including mCtrl.... read more

Minor update 0.9.8 of mCtrl has been released. This release addresses many bugs. Most of them were related to the Direct2D painting support introduced in 0.9.7, which is used by image view control and chart control instead of GDI+, whenever available.

Special thanks belong to all the people who reported all the issues and who helper to resolved them. You know who you are. Thank you for making mCtrl better.... read more

Say hello to the release 0.9.5 of mCtrl.

This release fixes a collection of bugs, and also provides few new features and changes. Especially tree-list view got many improvements. Also note the (still very incomplete and unusable) property view has been removed from the master branch so it is not present in the released packages. It will get back only when it reaches a usable state.

Fruits of a lot of work is coming to your table. The version 0.9.0 brings few more controls, many small improvements. The interface of the values (MC_HVALUE and related functions) as well as controls using them has been heavily simplified as the API was found too difficult to use, and also containing some flows.

Also numbers of messages and notifications has been renumbered to achieve two properties:... read more
